<p>A class or built-in type <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X</span></tt> models the <em>Readable Iterator</em> concept
for value type <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">T</span></tt> if, in addition to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X</span></tt> being Assignable and
Copy Constructible, the following expressions are valid and respect
the stated semantics. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">U</span></tt> is the type of any specified member of
type <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">T</span></tt>.</p>
